FLIPpin’ Awesome Giveaway
Hey everyone! How’s your morning going?? If you enjoyed a long weekend (yeahhhhh), here on some things that went down on the bloggy:
–Summer Shape Up Week 2 Workout went up!
-We planted our little garden
and
Last night, the pilot finally got the shrimp and prosciutto penne pasta he’d been hankering for:
Recipe is in *this cookbook*
I rolled with spelt pasta, olive oil, garlic, basil and tomato
and we both had salads with roasted beet, onion, goat cheese and balsamic
A perfect little meal 🙂
We chilled at the casa, I coerced the pilot to watch How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (best movie EVERRRR, even with his snide commentary haha) and we called it a night 🙂
The plan for today is:
-3 training appointments
-Weights (upper body)
-Post office
-Clean downstairs
-Make raw strawberry tart for Thurs night girl’s night
-Insanity
-Back to work
Before I go…
here’s that giveaway I’ve been hinting at 😉
Remember my Christmas gift from the pilot??
That would be a Flip cam.. and I’m in love with it 🙂

If my TV could do anything I’d have it allow me to virtually “borrow” the wardrobe of characters from my favorite shows, like SATC. 🙂 oh yah, and have an unlimited PVR capacity – that’d be awesome.
If my tv could do anything, it would allow me to jump in and be on all of the old “I Love Lucy” shows!…try out Vitameatavegamen, make chocolates, etc! She’s my idol 🙂
If my TV could do anything I would like to be able to change channels using my mind!
It would be nice to “fix” the hockey game so my husband will be in a super mood and let me get that new Tory Burch bag I want.
I would like to be able to, at the push of a button, jump through the TV screen and participate in what is going on during a particular show. How awesome would it be to join in on some of the different travel shows, The Price Is Right, or The Biggest Loser when you are craving a kick butt workout? 🙂 Thanks for offering this awesome contest Gina!
I wish my television had an optional smellovision button. It would be most welcomed when watching food network, and cleaning/personal care commercials. But especially food network.
If my TV could do anything it would cook me dinner every night! Better yet, Tyler Florence would cook me dinner every night during his show…
(wouldn’t be bad if he came along with the dinner either)
If I could have my TV do anything it would be do my laundry…because i HATE doing laundry!!…but more realistically I would want “smell-o-vision” because my favorite channel in the Food Network Channel
If my T.V. could see what I see when I turn it on and feel the things that I feel after I turn it on, from getting up in the morning to going to bed at night and knowing what I need to see and hear that would be the best T.V. ever, If I was feeling blue it would make me smile, If I was hungry, It would know what I needed to go fix, to if I had no energy to having me watch a “jump up and do it attitude” show.
If my TV could do anything it would … Allow me to set alerts for when my favorite show is on, one of my favorite movies is on, or when one of my favorite actress/actor is on in a show or movie. This feature is something XM radio has for songs or artist.
If my t.v. could do anything i would tune into the travel channel so i could travel to every destination with them and enjoy all the high dollar resorts and good food and drink 🙂
If my t.v. could do anything, I would want it give me a kick butt interval program to follow during commercials and encourgage me to get off my butt if I decided to just watch it rather than participate during the break!
If my TV could do anything…I’d want to be able to reach in and sample the recipes on Food Network! 😀
Allow me to enter whatever TV show I want and be apart of the cast.
If my TV could do anything, I would have a channel that would always have new episodes of all my favorite shows, so that I’d never have to sit around channel surfing and finding that there’s nothing to watch!
If my TV could do anything, I would live in the “scandalous lives of Manhattans elite” 😉
If my tv could do anything, I’d make it turn me into Kelly Ripa so I could have her arms, her job, and her husband! 🙂
I wish I could step into the TV and be in the show. So I could see all the awesome places on the travel channel and taste all the delicious food on the food network.
If my tv could do anything, I would definitely want it to make me all the delicious and healthy meals I see on the food channel but can never re-create. I would have to avoid Paula Deen, though, but I would never have to attempt cooking again!
If my TV could do anything it would allow curtis stone to pop out of and have dinner ready for me every night 🙂
if my TV could do anything, I would want to smell and/or eat the foods when I watch the food network instead of the hosts just describing everything!
If I could do anything I would be a stay at home mom to a bunch of rugrats and a wife to a wonderful man! I’d also like to chair a nonprofit.
If my TV could do anything, I would want it to be able to pull me through the TV and take me to the wonderful places you see on the travel channel. Such as the Bahamas, the Carribean, Italy, etc. That would be awesome!
I wish my tv offered a feature that you could pause the screen, be able to click on any item (i.e. furniture, clothes, etc.) and find out how much it cost and where you could buy the item!
I would like to have channels that only ran a particular show (kind of like PANDORA on the iphone) I could have an all “GLEE” channel, or an All “What Not to Wear” channel!
I want a Gym TV! I want to “watch” an interactive gym that would allow me to train on all of the equipment that I don’t have at home. That would certainly solve my dilemma of fitting a treadmill, elliptical, spinning bike, weight rack, etc. into my house — not to mention my budget!
I would like my TV to allow me to take the chefs on TV out of the tv and into my kitchen to cook for me. I love to cook but it sure would be fun to have someone else cook me a really nice meal every so often.
My TV would do the following:
1) have Jillian come and train me!
2) Have Ellen come and chat and dance with me
3) Have Rachael Ray cook for me.
All while giving me a massage
If my TV could do anything it would let me transport to where ever I wanted..especially when watching the travel channel!
I’d want it to turn off when my boyfriend tries to make me watch Dog the Bounty Hunter, and I’d want it to allow me to sing and dance with the cast of Glee whenever I wanted ; )
Thanks for the contest, Gina!
probably i would like to be able to interact with the screen like…info about clothing, food, people etc instantly. then probably an ability to buy the items would be nice 🙂
If my t.v could do anything it would allow me to jump in and get a fancy makeover on one of those shows, hair, makeup clothes, the works 🙂
I would def like smell-o-vision….no better yet taste-o-vision since I am obsessed with food/travel channel YUMMMMMMMMMMM! I would also like to basically just step into my tv and be where ever Anthony Bourdain happens to because a) I love him :), b) hellooo who doesn’t want to travel the world’s most exotic locations?, c) more eating!!.
If my television could do anything, it would allow me to see dinner on television and make it appear in my kitchen!
If my TV could do anything, I would want it to coach me through my treadmill runs in the morning. How cool would it be to have the characters in the TV randomly starting shouting words of encouragement to you like…”You go girl!” or “You’re amazing, keep pushing hard!”. Now that would make running on the mill enjoyable! 😉
I would love it if the DVR would automatically fast foward through the commercials and stop instantly when it gets to the show again. I am the worst at timing when to start the show again. I would also like it if you turn on the TV and see a show or movie you want to see that you could rewind it to the beginning.
If my TV could do anything, it would let me jump in and and sing with the cast of Glee!
If my TV could do anything, it would let me sample everything on Top Chef and Top Chef Masters! It would also let me jump in and follow those people from Ghost Adventures (mainly so I can see if it’s made up or not)!
I may sound monotonous here, but I would love the ability to taste the food that I watch being prepared. It looks so good when someone else makes it!
If my TV could do anything, it would allow me to enter into some of my favorite TV shows just so I can hang out with the characters – ex. Glee, LOST, The Wire, Sex & The City, etc.!
I wish my TV would let me jump in and join the cast of Glee for singing and dancing!!
I would like it if I could go where the tv travel shows take people_right along with them.
If my tv could do anything it would allow me to hop into any of the Twilight movies and live there with Edward and the Cullens 🙂
I would love to smell what is cooking on the tv.
If my TV could do anything, it would take me to NYC to shop at Barney’s and sip cosmos with Carrie!!
Good question! If my TV could do anything, it would be to make what they are cooking on Food Network! As soon as Giada started whipping up Italian food, I’d press a button and it would be there in my living room 🙂
If my TV could do anything, it would transport me directly to the stage of all the amazing concerts I watch and let me sing with each performer (COUGH Michael Buble COUGH)!
If my tv could do anything… I would have to choose that it would provide the yummy smells and meals that I see on foodtv!
id wish it could have smellovision and tasteovision so i can smell and taste the food on food network!! 😀 or maybe even better i wish i could enter it so i could be in the cast of glee 😀
Oh, so many things… it would be great if my TV would let me travel to all of the amazing places on the Travel Channel, visit wildlife on Animal Planet, eat the food on the Food Network… what fun to think about! 🙂
